HOT SPRING MINERAL WATER TREATMENTS
BALNEOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS as thermal mineral water (output temperature 41ºC; mineral value 5 g/Liter.) it is crucial in curing:
- Arthrose (calcifying)
- Back pain, discalhernia and HVS syndrome
- Chronic rheumatism - Fibromyalgia, Fibroses, Fibromyosites
- Inflammatory and Non-inflammatory rheumatism
- Muscle tensions - Neck and shoulder pains
As salty water (3g/Ltr. NaCl) it is crucial in curing:
- Acne Vulgaris - A topic Dermatitis (Neuroderimitis)
- Eczema with infection - Psoriasis
As cohlendioxid water (over 500 mg/Liter.) it is crucial in curing:
- Arterial hypertonia (WHO level 1 and 2)
- Chronic venous insufficiencies
- Functional artery blood flow interferences
- Heart cycle disturbances caused by neuro-vegetative and psychosomatic
- Peripheral artery blockings
- Venous ulcerations, interference-related skin ulcerations.
As water with iodine (1.2 mg/liter *) it is crucial in curing:
- Chronic degenerative and traumatic joint stiffness.
- Degenerative eye diseases, corpus vitreum bleedings (supplementary therapy)
- Essential hypertonia, particularly if it stems from atherosclerotic cases
- Lack of iodine, e.g. lack of iodine goiter (supplementary therapy)
As water with fluorine (1.8 mg/Liter. F) it cures:
